Commenting on the lack of school
funds in Ilazle township, the Plain
Speaker sizes up the situation clearly
when it says: "If the coal companies
and other corporations whose property
is valued far below its worth at present
through a bad system of assessment
were obliged to pay taxes on the pro
portionate worth of their property as
compared with that of the poor man,
Ilazle township would bo rich."
China is either telling the truth or
lying about the ministers. If she is tell
ing the truth, it is impossible to guess
why she refuses to permit them to com
municate with the world. If she Is ly
ing it is equally impossible to guess why
she is taking the trouble to do so. "For
ways that are dark and for tricks that
are vain" the Chinaman is certainly
peculiar.
The township of Mifflin, one of the
richost in Dauphin county, deserves a
gratuitous advertisement. The Philadel.
phia Press says its school directors have
just elected teachers for the ensuing
term at the munificent average salary
of $23 per month. The school directors
up that way must envy tho surplus the
teachers havo after they pay their
board.
American athletes have carried off
tho honors at the Paris fair, astonishing
the Europeans as much in their way as
tho American fleet did in its way at
Santiago.
If you don't liko today's news from
China, wait until tomorrow, when an
entirely different story will be laid be
fore you. The Chinese strive to pleaso
and not to lack variety.
The weekly statement from General
McArthur that tho rebellion is over is
accompanied by a cry for reinforce
ments and a protest against the with
drawal of any troops.
When 10 to 1 was included In the
platform, the Republicans protested;
now that Bryan is going to leave it out
of his speech of acceptance, the Repub
licans protost again. There is no ploas
ing some people.
The Gold Democrats have refused to
put up a third ticket, which would
mean a good many half votes for Mc-
Kinley, and will go, each man, to the
side where his predilections lead him.
Advices received by the Democratic
national and congressional campaign
committees show that the Germans are
largely breaking away to Bryan, follow
ing the lead of tho prominent men
amongst them who havo already de
clared for him. If one-third of the
German vote of the middle west shifts
sides—and it now seems that two-thirds
will do so—McKinloy will bo defeated.
One consolation to be derived from
the prevalence of war this year is that
wo hear less talk from tho pugilists.
A Mrs. Joy, of Chicago, who was a
Miss Schwi/.kocswitchski, has sued a
divorco. Ho far as known, however,
sho has not asked for the restoration of
her maiden name.
That form of humanity which treats
the woundod and prisoners of war with
kindness and consideration should bo so
expanded that there would be neither
woundod nor prisoners.
The streets of town can stand light
ten to fifteen minutes earlier than is
given them every evening, and to allow
the lamps to burn half an hour longer
in the morning would do no harm.
A WIDESPREAD PLOT.
Anarchists Plan to Kill All
European Rulers.
ATTEMPT ON THE SHAH'S LIFE.
Thin and Recent ANSIIUU on Prince
of Wale* ami AMMaNNinat lon of
Humbert Ilclleved to Have Same
1 HHP i rat lon—Cxar Threatened.
New York, Aug. 3.—Cablegrams from
all the European capitals declare the
continental secret police believe a plot is
being put into execution to assassinate
all rulers who have rigorously tried to
stamp out anarchism, who have sent an
archists to distant prisons, exiled them
or executed them.
King, czar, kaiser, shah, president—the
anarchist equally hates and fears all.
A young man, an Italiau probably, per
haps a border Spaniard, certainly of the
south of Europe, desperately attempted
to assassinate the shah of Persia iu Paris
yesterday.
Five minutes before the shah had re
ceived a letter containing this terse but
deadly threat:
"Today you shall meet the same fate
as Humbert."
When he was overpowered, this as
sassin shouted:
"Help, friends!"
His very exclamation proved accom
plices were near him. And the suspicion
grows in Europe that other anarchists
were very near when Bresci shot down
King Humbert. These confederates tried
to divert the police from the true assassin
by attacking an innocent man, crying:
"Down with him!" "Seize him!" "He
has killed the king!"
There was a fearful struggle between
them and the police. The ground looked
like a battlefield after it.. But the police
tried to conceal this.
Immediately after the attempt on the
shah the French secret agents took ex
traordinary precautions to protect Presi
dent Loubet.
The regicide Bresci, in his prison, fe
verish, so excited that he had to he cloth
t N
SHAH OF PERSIA,
ed by force, forgot himself long enough
to exclaim to a warden yesterday:
"It will he the czar's turn next."
The Kaiser IN Menaced.
Warnings are multiplying in Germany
that an attempt will soon be made on the
life of Emperor William. Never were
the Genu an police so active.
This plot of king butchery is not only
of long standing, hut is known to an ex
traordinary number of conspirators and
to their friends.
A letter dated "New York" was inter
cepted in the mails at Rome yesterday.
It was signed "Zannoni" and was ad
dressed to the writer's brother. It con
tained this question of sanguinary signifi
cance:
"Is King Humbert still in the land of
tho living?"
However long they have plotted, the
secret police know the anarchists have
been spurred to their present audacity by
the escape of young Kipido. who on
April 4 last tried to shoot the Prince of
Wales when the prince was passing
through Brussels from England to Den
mark.
On July 5 the assize court found Sipido
guilty of attempt to kill, but held that he
acted without discernment. Sipido, 1(1
years old, was sentenced to a reformatory
until he should attain his majority. The
very next day it was announced that he
had escaped across the frontier, and he
is still at Jar go.
In the hoqse of commons yesterday A.
J. Balfour, the government leader, said,
answering a question, that the govern
ment had represented to Belgium that
they thought there had been a most un
fortunate miscarriage of justice in the
Sipido case. No reply had been received,
American Anarchl*!* I mportcd.
Audacious as they have become, the
anarchists have grown more.cuuniug too.
They have imported from America men
and women either unknown to the Euro
pean police or whom the police have for
gotten during their absence in America.
One strand of this murder web is
strongly planted in New York and its
environs. Teresa Brigoli, arrested in
Italy up Wednesday, accused of having
accompanied Bresci and Antonio Lana
from America, can he none other than
"La Bella Teresa," pretty young wo
man who came to New York last March
—she said from the West Indies—and
took lodgings in Macdoiigal aiypi't, near
Bleecker.
There is every reason to believe tb#£
Bresci was the man so often in "La Bella
Teresa's" society here. Bresci, anarchist,
docs not believe in the sanctity of mar
riage. Indeed, In? may have more than
one wife —she who was Sophia Knielinid,
now penniless with her babe iu West Ho
boken, and another woman, who is indi
cated iu u cablegram from Brussels yes
terday:
"La Forme says an inquiry has been
opened at Antwerp regarding a young
woman who married an Italian in New
York in December, 18D7. The man gave
the name Tomaso or Tomato Caricoli.
Bhe believes him identical with King
Humbert's assassin. She declares that
the photograph of the assassin is that of
the man she married."
Antonio Lana, or as the cablegram calls
aim "Anton Lanner," arrested near Tu
rlu on Wednesday, was but lately a bak-
Pr who lived and worked at 7 Cornelia
street, this city.
A dispatch from Vienna states that
Francois Widnear. arrested near Turin
for complicity in King Humbert's assas
sination, formerly lived near Triest and
was known as a rabid anarchist. To es
cape the police he fled to Paterson, N. J.,
last year.
And that areh fiend of anarchy, Enrico
Mnlntestn. whose appearances and dis
appearances are followed by the death of
some one who sits on a throne, has been
discovered In London by The Journal's
correspondent.
Mnlatesta "tied about himself of course
Fie snid be does not ever, know Rresci.
There is indubitable proof that Bresei
was pupil and associate of Mnlntestn
when he was preaching and publishing
anarchism at Paterson. Bresei himself
told the Italian police he knew Mnlntestn.
Thus terrible evidence of the extent of
tliis conspiracy accumulates.
The Italian police yesterday arrested at
Prntn Bresei's brother, a shoe dealer, an
other kinsman named Mnrozzi and seven
anarchists. Natnle Possnnzini. who was
arrested nt Aneonn. admitted traveling
with Bresei from Milan to Monza.
ANARCHISTS MEET. 1
In Puteraoii They Express Joy Over
King's Death.
Paterson, N. J., Aug. 3.—Several hun
dred anarchist held a meeting in Bar
tholdi ball last night for the purpose of
discussing the situation in Italy. There
were many Frenchmen, a number of
Spaniards and a few Austrians in the as
semblage which consisted for the most
part of Italians. Pasqualle Frank pre
sided. At the opening he denounced the
newspapers in general and claimed that
they were misrepresenting the anarchists,
lie said tiie papers made anarchists out
as bad men and pictured them in revolt
ing actions. He said this was untrue
and that anarchists were the same as
other people. Pedro Esteve, the Spanish
lender and editor of a Paterson an
archist publication, was the principal
speaker.
Bresei, he said, had not been sent to
kill tin* king; he did the act of liis own
free will. An anarchist was free to do
as he pleased. An anarchist, he said,
might decide in his own mind to kill a
king and know when lie had done it that
he would have to give his life for it, but
he would give his life gladly. Bresei, he
said, had killed the king, and he was
glad, although he knew he would have to
suffer for his act. All knew the king
was dead. Esteve said that he would
not cry and that he was not sorry. He
asked if any one present was sorry. This
was greeted with laughter and applause.
Esteve ended Ills speech with the excla
mation, "I am not sure what you people
think over the death of the king, but for
me I don't care that," snapping his fin
gers as he said so.
Speeches were also made by Pedro
Moresi, Francis Widmer and A. Aimore,
each saying that there had been no plot
for the killing of the king.
Mr. llrynn'N I'lann.
Chicago, Aug. 3.—The Record says that
William Jennings Bryan in a large meas
ure will be Ills own campaign manager
this year. Directly after the notification
ceremonies at Indianapolis next week
Mr. Bryan will return to Chicago and,
with the help of his party's leaders,
formulate plans for the campaign. Ac
cording to the programme as outlined by
J. G. Johnson, chairman of the national
executive committee, Adlni E. Stevenson
will come back with Mr. Bryan to this
city, and the two will have a large share
in arranging the lines for the coming po
litical fight. Mr. Johnson was told by
Mr. Bryan over the telephone of his in
tention to return to Chicago from Indian
apolis to help in arranging the programme
for the campaign. Mr. Johnson said the
candidate would probably be here three
or four days. Practically the full roster
of Democratic lenders will go to Indian
apolis for the notification, and they will
return hero with Mr. Bryan for a session
that will determine in its broad lines the
way the campaign is to be conducted.
Set Child's Dress on Fire.
Dunkirk, N. Y., Aug. 3.—Bertha Bald
win. <5 years old, and a companion were
playing in the yard of the Baldwin girl's
home when Joseph belaud, (5 years old, u
neighbor of the girls, declared he would
set tire to their dresses if they did not
get him a piece of pie. The little Bald
win girl refused, and the Delaud boy, it
is said, coolly lighted u match, went up
to the girl and set fire to her dress. The
little girl's dress was immediately in a
mass of flames. She was crazed by the
pain and ran around the yard, shouting
for mamma. Some one had presence of
mind sufficient to rescue the child. The
child's clothing was entirely burned off
her back. Her flesh was burned to the
bone in places. The child is in the hos
pital here uiul will probably die.
Clii-lMlinn Workers ut Mori It field.
East Xorthficld, Mass., Aug. 3.—The
eighteenth annual general conference of
Christian Workers opened here lust even
ing. There were over 1.000 persons in the
auditorium. William It. Moody presided
at the meeting, which was opened, as has
long been the custom, by a song service
conducted by Ira D. Sankey, who for
over a quarter of a century was cowork
er of the la re pwight L. Moody. Rev. G.
Campbell Morgan of London opened the
addresses. He read a memorial address
to Dwlght I*. Moody.
Hfreef Car Dynamited.
Dallas. Aug. 3.—An electric ear on the
Hat*wood street line of the Dallas Consol
idated system has been blown up by dy
namite. The motorinan was severely but
not dangerously injured. The passengers
escaped unhurt and lied. The company
charges the explosion to union men on
strike or their friends. The strikers deny
the charge and urge the officials of the
company and of the city to make a rigid
investigation. The strike situation re
mains otherwise unchanged.
Bancroft May Do to China.
Boston, Aug. 3.—Orders have been re
ceived at the Chnrlestown navy yard to
put the gunboat Bancroft into commis
sion as soon ns possible. She has been ly
ing in ordinary for more than a year. It
Is thought likely that she can be ready to
sail Aug. 13. The Inference at the navy
yard is that the Bancroft will be sent to
China.

IS AN UNFRIENDLY ACT.
So Says Chinese Minister of
Advance on Peking.
EBITI3B AXE AMERICAN PLANS
Ii la Said In Louduu That Theic
Two IVitdoui Will Help China I'uf
Down the Doieri—Envoji Report
ed still Safe.
London, Aug. .3 —"China regards tin?
march of the allies on Peking us an un
friendly act, if not tantamount to a dec
laration of war," said Sir Chili Chen, the
Chinese minister, last night. He added:
"Unless the powers promptly assure the
imperial authorities that they do not in
tend to do more than release the minis
ters and the other foreigners the Chinese
regulars will be ordered to oppose the in
vaders. There is no other course open to
the Chinese government.
"What would Englishmen say of the
British government if it were idle while
a foreign army marched to London?
What would Americans say of the Wash
ington government if it were limp in the
presence of an alien foe? China has not
yet received an official and specific pro
nunciamcnto setting forth the intentions
of the powers. She must regard all arm
ed invaders as enemies until they sol
emnly proclaim themselves friends."
The minister says that even if formal
war breaks out the Peking authorities
will do everything they can to protect the
Caucasians in the capital. He fears, how
ever. that the advance of the allied troops
will send the entire Chinese population
over to the Boxers' side and provoke the
murder of all defenseless whites within
reach of the mob.
"Nor will the slaughter stop." said ho.
"in my opinion with the foreigners. I an
ticipate that the emperor and the em
press. as well as every Chinaman who
has sought to save the lives of the lega
tioners. will be slain. If the powers pull
down the dynasty infinite difficulties will
come tumbling about their heads."
nritlHli mill American Plan*.
It is still rumored in diplomatic circles
that the United States and Grent Britain
have agreed to aid the Chinese troops in
overthrowing the rebels, if the former
were found to be acting in good faith. It
is also said that the two countries will
act together, averting, if possible, n tech
nical war with China. It is certain, at
any rate, that the foreign offices in both
London and Washington arc in constant
communication concerning the Chinese
situation.
This dispatch from its special corre
spondent at Shanghai is published in The
Daily Mail:
"An official telegram from the tsung-li
yamen, dated Monday, states that the
ministers in Peking were all well on
that date anil that vegetables, fruits and
other eatables bad been sent to the lega
tions on several occasions. Friendly in
tercourse. it added, was now being car
ried on between the foreigners and the
Chinese government."
A messenger who left Peking on the
21st lias arrived at Chefu with messages
from several of the ministers. United
States Minister Conger sends the follow
ing dispatch to Consul Kagsdale:
"We have been besieged in the British
legation for five weeks under n continual
fire of the Chinese troops, but since the
Kith, by agreement, there has been no
firing. Fifty marines of all nationalities
have been killed and more wounded.
"We have provisions for several weeks,
but little ammunition. If they continue
to shell us as they have done, we cannot
hold out long, and a complete massacre
will follow. We hope relief can come
soon. Glad to hear of the victory at
Tien-tsin."
The gist of the other messages is thut
the missionaries are uninjured, but that
the mission is destroyed. The customs
staff and their families are uninjured.
MINISTERS AROUSED.
Send (t l)eniiiiid That Envoys He Es
corted to Tlen-tsln.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—Yang Yu, the
Chinese minister here, after consulting
with the other Chinese ministers at the
various foreign capitals, lias telegraphed
in their joint names to Yuan Sliih Kai,
governor of SUnngtung, demanding that
the ministers in Peking be immediately
allowed to communicate direct with their
respective governments and be escorted
to Tien-tsin with their families and the
members of their staffs*
The Russian general staff has received
news from Tien-tsin that u majority of
the Boxers and imperial troops are con
cent rated at Yangtsun. General Nieh's
forces have been demoralized by their
heavy losses and are utmost entirely scat
tered. The report that General Nieh
was killed in action is confirmed. It is
estimated that there are 50,000 imperial
troops in Peking, besides a large number
of Boxers, whose strength is as yet un
known. Russians regard the advance on
Peking before the end of the ruiuy sea
son as a risky undertaking.
To Annnl Franchise Tax.
Albany, Aug. 3.—The state board of
tax commissioners has learned that sev
eral large corporations whose franchises
are taxable hare sent to local assessors
circulars stating that they should de
duet from the assessment on real prop
erty or corporations the amount of the
assessment placed on their franchises by
the state tax board. The effect of fol
lowing this advice would bo to complete
ly annul the operations of the franchise
tax act. Tiie state board has referred
the matter to Deputy Attorney General
Conian, who is writing a letter of ad
vice to the local assessors, pointing out
to them their duty and telling them to
pay no heed to the instructions given
them by corporations.
Chinese Slaves In Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 3.—lt was reported to
the city authorities that four Chinese wo
men had been purchased by Chicago Chi
namen and were being held as slaves.
The women were said to have been ex
hibited at the Omaha exposition. It was
claimed that SSOO was the price of each
and that they had been held in captivity
nearly two years. Acting Mayor Walk
er immediately instructed the police offi
cials to liberate the women.
Police Captain Injured.
Camden, N. .T.. Aug. 3,—Police Cap
tain Albert was seriously, probably fa
tally, Injured In trying to mount his
horse. Just as his foot became fixed in
the stirrup the animal dashed forward,
dragging the captain some distance and
kicking him on the bead. At the Cooper
hospital, where he is now lying uncon
scious, the surgeons say there 1b scant
tope of his recovery.
MILLIONAIRE IN JAIL.
While Cnthhert Is In Prison His
Mining; Stock Soars.
Chicago, Aug. 3.—William Cuthbert
was sentenced to Joilct this week for
forgery. lie owns silver mines in Idaho
and had almost forgotten the fact when
a message came telling him that his
stock, through recent fluctuations in the
market, had jumped up to the value of
$2,000,000.
The mines were bought by the late
General Cuthbert and were cheeked to
rhe credit of his son when the latter war
made executor of the estate. Society
f copie knew Cuthbert as a mine owner,
but Cuthbert never told of the mines.
Cuthbert was once wealthy and man
ager of tlie Leland hotel. He forged ex
tensions and disappeared, but in Minne
apolis several weeks ago gave himself
up to the chief of police and arranged
with an attorney to watch over his min
ing interests. Since he has been confined
in the county jail speculators have open
ed negotiations with the attorney and are
looking toward the purchase of the prop
erties.

Girl Wins Ilia Suit.
New York, Aug. 3. —Justice Smith lias
handed down a decision finding for the
plaintiff in the long pending suit of May
Thorne Brantinghnin against Eunice E.
Huff over the will of Joseph Thorne, an
inventor of improvements in typewriting
and sewing machines. Mr. Thorne died
on May 4, 181)7. His wife had died only
11 days before. May Thorne was an
adopted daughter. The suit was over a
transfer to Mrs. Huff by Mr. Thorne of
the record title of stock paying regular
monthly dividends of 5 per cent on $300,-
00U and various other property owned by
Mr. Thorne, estimated in all at some
thing like $500,000. In 1803 Joseph
Thorne and his wife adopted May Lil
lian Lee, the plaintiff, then nearly 2 years
old. The child was the daughter of Lieu
tenant William Henry Lee of the British
army. Lieutenant Lee was drowned at
San Francisco. Mrs. Lee was ill at tiie
time, and. believing that her condition
was critical, she allowed the Tliorncs to
adopt the child. The Thornes covenant
ed that she should inherit upon their
death everything that was theirs. The
plaintiff lived with the Thornes as their
child from and after Dec. 21, 1803, until
the month of April, 1805. She then mar
ried. Mrs. Huff made Mr. Thome's ac
quaintance at a railroad station, and be
cause of a friendship lietween them he
made wholesale assignments of his prop
erty to her.
War With Indiana In Yucatan.
Onxaen. Mexico, Aug. 3.—The military
authorities here have received informa
tion that there has been continued light
ing between the Maya Indians and the
government troops in Yucatan for the
last five days and that the rebels have
been forced to abandon several of their
strongest positions adjacent to the city
of Chan Santa Cruz, where they have
their headquarters and tribal govern
ment. The Indians were taken by sur
prise several days ago by a force of about
2.<MM> government troops commanded by
General Bravo coining upon their right
Hank. After firing a few volleys, when
this first onslaught was made by the
government troops, the Indians retreated
a short distance and then made a de
termined stand, which they have held
with persistence and great bravery.
